Eternity
There is something so beautiful about growing old with one person and wanting to spend eternity with them. Luke was there with her in her happiest moments maybe, when they were young and free but Larry was there with her in the worst, through thick and thin. It was impossible for her to know what permanent life with Luke would’ve been he had changed 67 years this is a new version of him she had never known a version she could have known and a version she could have grown with. But Larry was familiar and warm and she loved him for as long as Luke waited and that is simply something you cannot replace. He is her life and she is his, something stable and irreplaceable. Their kids would be happy to know that they’re together.
